Subject: acpi_memhotplug.c: auto bind the memory device which is hotplugged before the driver is loaded

If the memory device is hotplugged before the driver is loaded, the user
cannot see this device under the directory /sys/bus/acpi/devices/, and the
user cannot bind it by hand after the driver is loaded.  This patch
introduces a new feature to bind such device when the driver is being
loaded.
